What could be the first new Chaos Dark Mechanicus 40k models were teased by GW at the end of the 2022 Warhammer Day preview…
The big Warhammer Day 2022 preview for Warhammer 40k and Kill Team is here from Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community, along with our commentary on all of it.
Games Workshop Warhammer Day Open Preview 2022
Warhammer 40,000 turns 35 next month, and we’re packing this year’s Warhammer Day – the annual celebration of the world’s best miniatures games – with goodies from the last three-and-a-half decades. Festivities kick off on Saturday the 8th of October with a special live Warhammer preview dedicated to all things Warhammer 40,000 and Kill Team.
GW Teases a Chaos Dark Mechanicus Surprise…
The Warhammer Day Preview has come and gone, but not without one last tease from the Community Team regarding a future miniature that looks a little sus from an Imperial perspective…
There is a ton of info we can pull out of these images. No one can deny the obvious connection to Chaos Space Marines with Abbadon standing front and center; those who know a bit about the lore will also spy the Mechanicum-style servo-skulls lining the perimeter of the image.
This may be a reference to the long-awaited Dark Mechincum and their introduction into Warhammer 40k proper.
These next images add even more intrigue to the situation. There have been rumors about the possibility of a new named daemon prince hitting in late 2022 or early 2023, and we cannot deny the uncanny similarity between these silhouettes and a Daemon prince’s shape.
Perhaps they are variants of the same model kit or several different new model kits? Probably the clear image comes from Warhammer Community’s announcement video for this mini.
This is everything Games Workshop has revealed up to now, and your guess is as good as ours:
Advent of the Arkifane

Seems to translate into:
Advent of the Arkifane
Whispers in the Void
A new power rises from the warp
